What do you read?
How do you choose what you read?
What do you want to get out of a bookgroup?
Where do you read?

Is there a character you particularly love? Or particularly identify with?
Is there a writer you love?
Are there scenes or lines from book that stay with you and regularly come to mind?
Do you quote from books?
Is there any character from fiction you particularly fancy?
Has any writer's life captured your imagination?
What are you favourite books?
What books have you hated?
What books do you think you should have read but haven't. Why?
Why do we put pressure on ourselves to have read certain books?
What does reading books give you?
